Synopsis

Scrapping the original series' limited "five-year mission" for a more ambitious ongoing one, Star Trek: The Next Generation aims high from its first episode. The Enterprise D is captained by Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), a leader more reserved and thought-driven than the beloved Captain Kirk. Other notable crew members include Klingon lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn), security chief Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby), android Data (Brent Spiner), empathic ship's counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), first officer Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) VISOR-wearing lieutenant Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Chief Medical Officer Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), and her genius son Wesley (Wil Wheaton). Though the season features plenty of callbacks to its predecessor - an appearance from DeForest Kelley as "Bones" McCoy, a return of Romulans in the season finale, and an episode-long homage to the original series episode The Naked Time - Star Trek: The Next Generation also offers a number of its own inventions. The two-part premiere, "Encounter at Far Point, introduces audiences to the popular character of Q (John DeLancie), who returns in Hide and Q and other episodes throughout the series. The season also introduces audiences to family members of the crew, including Data's brother Lore (also played by Spiner) and Deanna Troi's mother Lwaxana (Majel Barrett, the wife of series creator Gene Roddenberry and the voice of the ship's computer). An attempt to turn the aurally gifted Ferengi into the Federation's new nemesis might have failed in The Last Outpost and The Battle, but an innovative danger was presented in the addition of the holodeck in The Big Goodbye. The first season featured guest appearances from the Mamas and the Papas singer Michelle Phillips, genre favorite Michael Berryman, and future Deep Space Nine star Armin Shimmerman. ~ Kimber Myers

CBS / Paramount flooded with complaints...

July 27, 2012

Finally, it's here in hi def.
However, CBS / Paramount has been receiving tons of complaints due to audio mix problems (vocals not centered but front left and right as well, also 7.1 tinny sounding on Haven with no 2.0 audio track on the disc for Haven) and audio sync problems in other areas.
You can't beat the deal with Best Buy and getting in with the additional $10 promotion. Eventually, these should get a disc replacement program going, so don't worry if you decide to buy this set. Just keep informed for when a disc replacement program begins so you can get disc 1, 6 for sure and probably disc 2 as well replaced when the time comes.
Pay attention to the CBS / Paramount home page news section in weeks to come!

Great Series and So Happy To Have it on DVD

January 18, 2010

This is one of the best Science Fiction TV series ever. The translation to DVD is wonderful. The audio is great. DVD's were not scratched and were in prime condition. The packaging was squashed from being mailed. I love the way the packaging looks and the insides but the material used on the outer packaging was just too flimsy. Overall 5 stars across the board even with the packaging squished on the outside.

I love star trek tng.

If you like star trek the next generation this ones for you. It as all of the first season episodes on it you can watch over and over again. But the thing is the numbers on the disc are messed up episode 1 #723 and then it goes episode 2 #103. If your a fan then buy it.....

A Must Own For Star Trek Fans

April 25, 2008

If you like star trek Star Trek The Next Generation must be a part of your collection. The Next Generation is the best series of the Star Trek franchise. The first season does a good job of starting us off on a new Star Trek adventure. The series gives us new looks at different alien species such as the Q, the Ferengi, the Borg and even the Klingons. If you are a Star Trek fan The Next Generation is a great addition to the original series.

Great series

A must have for Star Trek fans. Not a fan of the gate fold disk holders (I prefer the newer slim cases), but they do the job.
For any TV series boxed set, the strength of the episodes is the most important factor to me, and this is a good season, but not the best. It also includes a fair amount of extras.
